Things we watch for by make
- Toyota and Lexus: many late models use long-life iridium spark plugs; newer engines specify thin oils such as 0W-16 or 0W-20.
- Honda: the 1.5-liter turbo (Civic, CR-V, Accord) is known for fuel diluting the oil on short trips.
- Nissan: the CVTs are sensitive to fluid condition; the shop recommends regular fluid service.
- Hyundai and Kia: some Theta II-era engines had documented oil-consumption problems; bring your VIN and the shop helps check for open campaigns.
- Subaru: the boxer engine buries the rear spark plugs, so plug changes take longer.
Dealer or independent shop?
